You'll report to a Project Manager who expects sound judgment, high standards, and independent follow-through. The successful APM enjoys a challenge and is committed to communication, collaboration, a great attitude, and patience.

This is an in-person role, five days a week, out of our Mill Valley office. We don't offer remote or hybrid arrangements.

What You'll Own
  • Preconstruction estimating, project set-up, and preconstruction contract administration

What You Bring
  • 10+ years in construction administration, with deep fluency in construction finance including budgets, job costing, pay applications, and financial reporting
  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, construction management, or architecture
  • Strong Excel skills. Working knowledge of Timberline/Sage 300 and Box are helpful
  • The judgment to work independently and the discipline to report clearly to a Project Manager with high standards
  • A track record of staying ahead of a project's needs rather than reacting to them
  • Lives within commuting distance of Mill Valley, CA.

  • The APM may also be required to drive to the jobsite from time-to-time and must meet the Company's driving requirements
